Hi Denise, I've looked through the Milawa Co-op Dairy Co. book (1891 - 1992) and the first mention of Carboor is June 14, 1897. "Tender for creamery at Carboor from Knox & Humphrey accepted - tender price 129 pounds." July 12, 1897 "Hugh McCormack appointed Manager, Carboor creamery." I cannot find any mention of your relative or his Forest Park Estate. Best wishes, Bonnie Researching: Ferguson, Kerr, Wolstenholme, McKimmie in Australia. Ferguson, Kerr, Sloan, Welsh in Ayrshire. -----Original Message----- From: Denise McMahon [mailto:helendmc@powerup.com.au] Sent: Friday, 8 February 2002 7:02 PM To: AUS-VIC-NE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [AVNE] Milawa co-op. > > I am hoping someone on the list may have a copy of the history of the Milawa Co-op. and is prepared to do a look up for me. > > > > I would like to know if Carboor Cheese Factory or > > > > Forest Park Estate Carboor > > is mentioned. > > > > I have seen an ad in a paper of gg's selling his Forest Park Estate "on which Milawa creamery is".
